Ceredigion County Council would like to congratulate Ceredigion pupils who are receiving their GCSE, AS and A Level results this week.
It has been an extremely challenging year for our young people and we are proud of their maturity and resilience whilst coping with these challenges. They have committed to a very different method of assessment, diligently preparing for a series of assessments over a period of time. We would like to sincerely thank our school staff and leaders for their professional work in leading and supporting our young people through this period to ensure the best opportunities for the pupils in their care. The results announced this week are as valuable as ever, and our young people deserve to be wholeheartedly congratulated on achieving high standards in the face of so many difficulties. We wish them all the best in moving on with these solid foundations to the next stage of their education or employment.
